A Christmas bankruptcy...
Our company's Angel Maker and Angel Day Care
will be closed on the 25th of this month.
They were dating, those two.
So you're saying, they broke up?
Are you fine how it is, at Christmas the company goes away.
You'll no longer be Toko chan's co-worker.
Well it's over, so.
I want to spend Christmas with my family. Let me see my father!
The company will take Kohei kun to his English class,
and we'll be late returning him home.
Father! So you came...?
Taking a child in our care on your own,
if the mother finds out, what if something happened, what would you have done.
Even when you can't understand the
feelings of a kid whose parents are divorcing. Do you understand the feeling
of the guy keeping quiet
while his mother is being hit?
won't you please tell me, what happened.
If I tell you, it will be unpleasant.
This is the story of the Christmas miracle where I realized that adults
were suffering the same wounds as me.
I love you,
you're life is on the edge,
and a miracle swoops down.
It's not the Space Battleship Yamato.
Oh alright, not that Yamato connection.
Ben san, restrain yourself.
Isn't it alright, interesting. Right?
Aside from the bankruptcy, feels like being optimistic.
No matter what words you use, doesn't make me optimistic.
It's different for someone that knows their next job. Well now....
At times when you don't know what will happen,
you can always count on me.
What.. are you saying?
Toko chan, your determination hasn't changed?
going back to Niigata...
For now, my parents are saying to come home.
Seems they have a Marriage Interview arranged for me.
Toko chan!
Tonight, let's go for dinner?
Yes.
We're here. Welcome.
Today should I be in there?
Today Orihara chan is here, and there's fewer children.
If your concerned, go have a look?
Not really, not good with kids anyway.
What, aren't kids cute!
Children you know, their clothes are light fluffy.
Not making them anymore is depressing...
Even though we made them to our hearts content here.
At your next place, you'll make them to your hearts content, right?
Dolls clothes are different than children's!
Children's stomachs, are all spongy.
Either way, children are cuter~!
Well, not particularly...
When I get married, I want to have at least 3 children.
Well, but, aren't children a little scary?
And aren't they just a burden?
I've never made it so complicated.
I have to poke my nose into the subject of Ben san's potential to get married.
There is! Oh, I need to get going.
Seems like my mother doesn't know anything.
I'm OK here too.
Seems like no one here knows either.
Oh, ouch, ouch.
Ouch, your so clumsy. Sorry.
Excuse me. Oh Fuyumi Sensei.
Please take over. He hurts.
My body here, doesn't like anyone but Fuyumi Sensei touching it.
Ootake san... Tadokoro san, phone, it's your son.
Could you tell him I'm working and can come to the phone.
Are you sure? yea.
Yes.
Kohei kun.
Toko, Yes.
Later. Later.
For that kid, you ought to get back together.
Kids are precious.
But my wife will not let me see him.
I don't think I can reconcile with my wife.
Isn't it a bit soon to make such a declaration?
That's right, at least talk to her about seeing your son.
You two don't know my wife. Huh, she's that difficult?
At work, at home too, she's always been in the superior position.
I met her at a the Mullion Cosmetics Company,
where we both worked.
Mullion, you mean that leading company Mullion? Yes.
My wife, even after giving birth, continued to be promoted,
and is now transferring overseas.
My wife said
she wanted me to quit the company and go with her.
Oh, completely destroyed a man's honor.
But it's even more than that.
More than a rank and file employee
it's natural that someone as superior as my wife would progress.
I understand it logically, but it brought about a quick conclusion.
One day while I had been hesitating about leaving,
my impatient wife then told me,
"the time is right for you
to become a stay at home father."
I felt like it had negated my entire life.
After that, I left the house and quit the company.
My wife is taking my son to Hawaii at the end of the year.
Before then it's my wife's intention to finalize the divorce.
So that's what happened...
That I can work like this now when I had lost my will to work,
is thanks to Fuyumi Sensei!
Tadokoro san...
That old man is here again.
Big bro, you have glasses!?
Is it OK to not go in?
It'd just be the same as yesterday.
Don't want a fight with the old man.
Further, why is Akagi san so worried about that Osteopathic Clinic.
He's having money troubles, Akagi san?
It's not for us to enquire,
but even with people that aren't late on their payments,
he's threatening them everyday.
Can you do some cleaning?
I did.
Your games and cleaning are sloppy.
How about my desk?
We're back~! What about the clinic?
They seem to have lost patients,
don't seem to be doing much business.
Yea, right!
It'll be settled soon, right. Our client is pushing for it, OK.
Well that may be... but somehow I don't think it's going to happen.
Somehow?
Well, cause they pay each month,
so with that, will somehow bear with it.
What do you think we lent money to that clinic for?
But, really about that,
in order to evict them, purposely lending them money.
That is our client's wish.
Feeling sympathy for every sucker, what can I do?
Because you're like that, you guys won't make it in a big organization.
I'm sorry.
But we're grateful that Akagi san found us.
Didn't find you, you were pushed onto me.
When we were with a big organization, there was a lot more money moving but
the job's were always dirty...
But Akagi san doesn't do such cruel things.
Even if we're not profitable, we like being honest.
Even without any money,
just that we can be here is enough.
This kind of a job is an honest one?
But... we need money.
We need money.
Wondering if I could ask you, what happened with Shunsuke kun?
I don't understand myself, what happened with Yamato kun?
Didn't Shunsuke kun say anything?
He did say he didn't get along with his parents,
but aside from that...
it's just that when we talked about marriage, he said,
"Before I can marry, I want to cut relations with my parents."
Yes, Angel Maker. Hello, this is Tadokoro.
Kohei kun just said he forgot something and is on his way there,
I went after him, but the gas burner was on in the kitchen, so I...
So I had to come back. Understood.
When Kohei kun gets here, I'll call you.
If Kohei comes,
can I get you to tell him to stay there?
I'm on my way there, right now. Yes.
At a small house in the village, a family of three lived.
A hard working mother and
and a easy go-lucky father and
and the one son, Wataru.
The family of three laughed while arguing,
they all lived together everyday.
Then one night,
father and mother,
had a serious argument.
But in the morning, I was sure that they had reconciled.
Wataru then went to sleep.
Even though he said he wanted to break up, I just couldn't accept it,
I've asked him many times for the reason.
But after all Yamato kun wouldn't tell me anything.
But in the end he said.
We speak a different language.
You who were raised in a loving home, can't understand my feelings.
So...
Well then, you can't sort out your feelings.
Who it is that hasn't looked at it properly,
is probably me.
I was scared to ask for the real truth.
For Yamato kun, I didn't support him like I should have.
There was probably something I was running from.
I really regret it.
Shunsuke kun's mother is a childhood friend of mine.
After she married she was constantly abused by her husband.
Why can't you keep your promise!? Now you are being so careless.
If I don't do this, you won't behave!
The child Shunsuke kun couldn't do anything.
Shunsuke kun tried to get his mother
to leave the house.
Shunsuke kun, I found you!
Shunsuke kun...
I don't want to go home. I want to stay at aunty's.
Shunsuke kun, here.
If any thing happens, come here right away.
Your Aunt will do something.
I will be sure to help Shunsuke kun.
I advised her to divorce many times, but.
Without ever resolving it, she continued living that life.
When Shunsuke kun was in high school,
to protect his mother from his father,
he tried to interfere, and his father's violence escalated.
At the time, Shunsuke kun got a severe wound,
he was taken to the hospital, and finally the police stepped in,
and his parents divorced.
The reason for it was
because of the physical abuse towards Shunsuke kun.
The police believed the husbands lie that he was protecting Shunsuke kun.
But that wasn't the end of it.
Later Shunsuke kun's mother remarried
the husband she divorced.
When she separated and divorced, she lamented, lamented,..
If she endures the violence,
at least she can live a life of comfort.
And she blamed Shunsuke kun for turning against his father.
No way...
And so without Shunsuke kun knowing, they got back together and remarried.
Ever since, Shunsuke kun has never seen his parents even once.
It's possible, that Shunsuke kun didn't
want you to know this.
Surely, he didn't want this to stain your ears or your heart.
Because you are one that is
is so empathetic to the feelings of others.
so I think he didn't want to tell you.
When Wataru woke up in the morning, father had left.
Wataru's father and mother,
had decided to divorce.
Even though they had lived happily together,
how come something like this happened?
Perhaps, father and mother
on that night when they fought,
may be because Wataru had fallen asleep.
Maybe Wataru shouldn't have fallen asleep.
Did you read it? Oh, my bad.
Cruel!
No, it's you that forgot it.
I would pick up the dropped notepad.
And then I would be curious and flip through it.
And then just kept reading, couldn't help it.
Wait here.
I just got a call from your mother.
She coming to get you, so you wait here, OK.
How much did you read?
To where Wataru went to see his father.
Isn't that all!?
Is Wataru, you?
If you're going to be mad, forget it.
You think it's funny?
That's not a story to laugh at.
That I would write like this...
Writing something like this is something to laugh at?
Not that... like it's not very good.
I don't really know, but isn't it good?
When I was a kid, I couldn't have written anything like that,
cause I couldn't stop reading, it must be interesting.
My father once took me to a library event.
To the picture book section.
I wrote a story about a lake becoming friends with the birds
that came to a frozen lake in the middle of the forest.
How novel, a lake becoming a character.
Strange? No, I admire you.
People that can write stories, have a talent for thinking of ideas.
My father praised me by saying the same thing.
"You have a mind for ideas!"
"You have things in your heart."
Therefore if you write stories, you can tell your feelings.
I believe that miracles can happen.
Yes. This is Tadokoro.
I'll be right down.
I won't come here tomorrow.
I remember the way to Yokohama. I'll be going there.
I'm going by myself, I won't take Toko.
"Toko", address her more politely.
You can tell on me, I don't care if mom is mad.
I can go, cause it's my right.
Anyway, it's mother's fault.
So that I wont ask,
I can do what I want to.
Oh excuse me.
You can't just go out on your own!
Oh good, nothing happened.
Let's go home.
Thanks for watching him.
How come you went out on your own?
What are you doing?
I told you not to clean my desk.
Akagi san, Did you lend money to my father again?
How much?
2 million yen.
The guarantor is me.
Don't worry.
Akagi san, enough.
I will keep working the shop.
Next at the Cabaret, sorry. I know.
In exchange, this is the last, OK.
Akagi san, you are a fool.
The fool is you.
Get out of the way!
I told you to stop!
You would hit your father!
Why are you opposing him?
Now it seems you are just like your father.
I was just trying to... Stop!
That look and your yelling, it's just like your father!
If anything happens, come right away.
Your aunt will do something somehow.
I will definitely help Shunsuke kun.
Hello. This is me Orihara.
Yea, I know.
Sorry about yesterday.
Could we meet for a bit, I have something to ask.
Yamato didn't say anything to Wataru's mother.
Wataru remembered what Yamato had said.
If I'm unhappy,
you can anything you want.
You think you're the only person in the world that's unhappy?
Wataru was taken aback.
He remembered the sad look on Toko's face when she told him what to do.
You're parents didn't divorce, Toko,
you don't know how a kid feels!
To get Toko to listen to him,
Wataru had hurt Toko.
Wataru was a coward.
He was only thinking about his own pity,
and became a really useless coward.
Sorry, to call you out. No problem.
Sorry about yesterday too.
All I do is apologize.
All I do is make you upset. That's not true.
Look, when we went to the Yokohama baseball,
and I thought the foul ball was a home run, and yelled banzai...
You should have been so embarrassed,
but you weren't mad at all.
About Kohei kun,
thanks for not saying anything to the president.
It was already a big enough thing as it was...
Yamato kun...
My parents also divorced.
And the president helped me.
Even if your by yourself,
just having someone that is your ally,
the worst situation can take a turn for the better.
What he needs now, is someone like that.
Therefore...
I don't think what you did was wrong.
Stay with him as long as he'll let you.
I'm sorry!
You don't have to go with me.
I'll go myself.
Sorry I asked you to come.
Because of the cold wind, Oh Darlin'
Holding you so tightly,
Don't grumble and let's go.
Yamato what? Don't talk to me like a grownup.
Don't tell us not to go.
Better than going yourself, need someone to stand watch.
Let's get going.
Look Kohei kun, let's get going.
Just promise one thing.
If this leaks out, say I went with you.
Arihara just came along cause she was worried. Got it?
What are you doing?
Let's go.
I was thinking,
Toko and Yamato,
that the two still really liked each other.
Father and mother too,
it would be good if it was the same for them.
